The Cides Reveal New Single “Black Flag”

The Cides‘ Paul Hayward was the co-founder of early UK punk band The Molesters for whom he wrote songs about social injustice, apartheid and equal rights. Much of those issues remain but add war, government overreach, LGBTQ+ struggles, and a host of other issues suppressing the working class.

Their new single, Black Flag, is a political punk protest song putting the state and religion on notice with uplifting singalong anthems and melodic hooks, it hits hard right from the start with the line, “I’ve had enough of these government fuckers!”.
